Let it snow!

It's our first day of snow for the year!!!!! The weather people have been talking about this storm all week, but they said it would come on Saturday. Saturday came and went, and although it was really cold, there was no snow in sight. Sunday morning arrived, and as we all opened our tired eyes with expectations of snow at around 6:00 am, there was still no snow. Bummer...

Then...

The dog started pacing.

The kitty started playing.

Little feet started scampering downstairs.

Christopher Robin gave me a nudge and whispered, "Honey, it's snowing!"

What!!!!! I opened my eyes again (this time it was 8:00 am) and looked out our bedroom window and saw large white fluffy pieces of cotton floating gently down to the ground. Snow!

I quickly got up and before I could make it downstairs I was met by a super hyper, snow-excited Winnie running to greet me with a lightening speed description of all that was happening and that she was going wear her pretty purple dress to church (the sleeveless summer dress) and that, "Mommy, it's snowing outside!" followed by an excited giggle and squeak.

It's been an hour now. Everyone has tummies full of pancakes and apple cider and if you look out any of our windows you will see white. Everywhere. The temperature outside has dropped 4 degrees and the big fluffy pieces of cotton have turned to smaller pieces of floating sugar cubes. Church has been canceled and it looks like the purple dress will have to be worn on another day because...

It's Snowing!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!! Thank you God for brightening up our gray world today with a beautiful, soft white blanket. It's just what I needed!

Have a wonderful day!
